Whoever claims cats are useless should definitely read this hub...what a poetic illustration! But I guess the 'benefits' of cats are not for all to enjoy...only the more observant and meticulous ones are able to understand their wondrous mannerisms and the incredible lessons in those gestures. Loved it, DREAMON.

All Ups and positives for this one, Dream On...your prose is always so filled with musings, realizations, discoveries, common sense, delight, thoughtful considerings and learning lessons. And this one inspired from the wisdom of your feline friends...a descriptive recognition of what these beautiful creatures are and can share with us. And, now, you've shared it, too. A great hub!!!

l love the way you observe and understand cats.

Then you always manage to turn it towards us as humans,.

Another gem.

Cats are SO intelligent, aren't they? People don't give them enough credit. Great Hub.

You are so Right "Dream On" we do learn, if we Listen, and Watch, from our Pets...They don't see life as so "Hectic" as we do. I really Enjoyed your Thoughts as well as the Cats in your Hub...Well Said, my Friend, Well said.

MehreenM You really say it so special.You use words I can never think of.I love what cats do and how easily they make life.Lucky Cats You explain in great detail what I hinted on.You can narrate all my writings.I am so happy you can explain what I often try to do.Dim Flaxenwick I often wonder when my cats and I first met.We think we chose them.I think they planned it that way and new how to entice us to pick them and they knew all along who would be the boss and who thinks they are boss.Mary615 I am always surprised and shocked what they do next.The Egyptians knew how precious cats were.They were way ahead of the times.b.Malin It is so nice to be taught every day in a different way.Who else is lucky enough to live with not one teacher but two.Thanx and I am overwhelmed by the great feedback and lovely comments.My cats wanted to remind you they thought of it first and they will let me say it as if I thought of it by myself.

D.O. - I would have neverrrrr gotten allllll that from a cat, lol!!

Very good observation and I'm impressed!!!

(I'm still sticking with dogs, though. My sister is the keeper of the cats. Wink!)

Personally, I'm a pacer. Wooden floors are a plus for me so I don't wear holes in any carpet while I'm busy surmising, or waiting on something.

In that aspect, I can totally appreciate why a cat might pace, be it due to thinking something over, frustration or boredom.

I have to admit, they have me bested in the cuddling after a fight business. I haven't ever managed to pull that off with any sincerity.

By the way, I do love cats. I just love them a whole lot more when they live with someone else, lol.

femmeflashpoint I love dogs too and they have to taught me what they know.They have to go outside to do their business.They look for the best place which could be a tree or a secret spot(their ancestors were pirates who look to find a place to bury their treasure)They chew on rocks and sometimes sticks(Anything to sharpen those teeth)I think they have watched little Red Riding Hood one time too many and they think they are the big bad wolf.Run around in circles chasing their tails.(they figure if people are going to be crazy we might as well join the crowd )Many need to be put on a leash(they just don't listen)Take it from a cat if dog is mans best friend treat them like one (slavery ended years ago we should all be free to come and go)Dogs will eat until they throw up(there is Over eaters Anonymous their owners should sign up their pets they love so much.)They bark all night and sometimes they bite because they are just mean(They have to learn to calm down and meditate more often and remember the good book love thy neighbor not bite thy neighbor.Maybe they need to be brought to school to learn to read so they can be a little smarter.Life is exciting and I still am trying to figure out why they constantly bite themself and make their skin all red and irrated.Maybe they should learn to clean themselves as cats do.If not maybe their lovely owners can bring them in the shower with them once in awhile.Have a great day.
